Hollywood is a song by Australian folk duo Angus & Julia Stone. It was released in November 2008 as the fourth and final single from their debut studio album A Book Like This. It features "Hollywood" and three re-recorded songs from that album. "All the Colours" and "Johnny and June" are new versions of "Wasted" and "Hollywood", respectively, with Angus singing.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Blame you Hollywood,
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In a cruel world.

Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some,
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.

They all would have been killed
In the sound of music,
They would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth.

She never would have made it to shore,
The little mermaid. He would have married a whore
From a wealthy family, after all he was royalty.

Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
Till her hands grew old and tired,
And nobody would look away,
That's the way it goes today.

I blame you Hollywood,
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In this cruel world.

Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.

And maybe other people too 
And maybe other people too 
And maybe other people too 
And maybe other people too 
And maybe other people too 
Like me and you.
